This specimen was lot 6758 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2017), where it sold for $282. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "HUNGARY. 2 Pengo, 1935-BP. NGC MS-61. KEY DATE of type. Free of any major detracting marks. Soft silver luster throughout with light golden toning beginning in periphery. From the Mezo-Toth Kalman Collection." The coinage of interwar Hungary is neglected and few pay attention to this rarity of a type struck 1929-39. A commemorative two pengo was struck in 1935 ([[Hungary 1935-BP 2 pengo KM-513|KM 513]]) honoring the tercentenary of Pazmany University, perhaps accounting for the low mintage of this date. The module matches that of a [[France 1934 10 francs|French ten francs]] of the thirties.

''Recorded mintage:'' 50,000.

''Specification:'' 10 g, 0.640 fine silver, 27 mm diameter. 

''Catalog reference:'' KM-511; Huszar-2243.
